Installing the SU5000RMB
The rack mount UPS comes with standard 19-inch (46.5 cm) rack mount brackets (ears) installed. Mounting rails to
support the unit are included. These supports may be used to ease installation for 19-inch or 23-inch racks.
Caution:
Two or more people are required to install the 5000 VA model due to its weight.
Mount the UPS in the rack before installing the batteries.

2. Install the mounting rails in the rack.
3. Load the UPS into the rack.
4. Attach the mounting brackets to the rack.

Determine the Location of the UPS in the Rack

of the rack.

sides of the UPS are not blocked.
